A great race. Hawaiians kids were awesome, Hui Lanakila's Women were BAD and Lanikai's Mens division "scary". As were the other winners. Like Keaukaha's 40 mens crew, Nate Kaluhiwa is da bomb. However "Our Sport" should come first, power to the paddlers. Clubs, Associations and Officers/Officials should be above reproach, instead of putting themselves into "power players".
Hui Wa'a Blew it with a series of "I'm better than you" moves that shows they are still J.V.s. AUWE! Politics is for the government, it has no place in paddling!
